Authentic Vintage 1950s Black Diamond Rhinestone Demi-Parure – Brooch and Clip-On Earrings Set
A spectacular example of mid-century glamour, this authentic vintage 1950s Black Diamond rhinestone demi-parure features a beautifully coordinated statement brooch and matching clip-on earrings.
The term Black Diamond is a classic vintage costume jewelry designation describing the dramatic smoky charcoal grey faceted glass rhinestones that became especially desirable in mid-century jewelry designs.
The striking brooch showcases large, beautifully faceted smoky charcoal grey stones arranged in a dramatic, dimensional composition. Surrounding the central stones are sparkling clear round rhinestones, elegant marquise-shaped crystals, and iridescent Aurora Borealis (AB) rhinestones that catch the light with flashes of pink, blue, gold, and violet.
The coordinating clip-on earrings feature bold triangular Black Diamond glass rhinestones accented with brilliant clusters of clear and Aurora Borealis crystals, perfectly complementing the brooch.
This richly layered combination of geometric shapes, brilliant rhinestones, and iridescent accents captures the glamour and craftsmanship associated with premium 1950s costume jewelry.
The dramatic stone arrangements are reminiscent of the celebrated mid-century designs of Weiss and Regency, both admired for their glamorous rhinestone creations. This is a stylistic comparison rather than a confirmed maker attribution.
A beautiful collectible demi-parure that makes an unforgettable vintage statement.
Whether worn together for an elegant evening look or styled separately, these pieces bring sophisticated Old Hollywood sparkle to a modern wardrobe.
